Akeena Solar Powers ABC's 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' With 5kW Andalay Solar System
Solar Company Hosts One Lucky Winner On Set to Watch the Install Live
PHELAN, Calif., Feb. 2, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Akeena Solar (Nasdaq:AKNS), a leading designer and installer of solar power systems, today announced its award-winning Andalay solar system will be featured on the first-ever green edition of the Emmy Award-winning hit reality TV show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," to be aired in April. The program recently began filming in San Bernardino County.
"We leapt at the opportunity to participate in this project and help provide this family with a brighter future," said Jose Tengco, Akeena Solar spokesperson. "Our 5 kW Andalay solar system will continue to give back to this family and the community for the next 30 years, drastically decreasing their electricity bills and carbon footprint. Akeena Solar was founded eight years ago on the principle that producing clean electricity from the sun is the right thing to do for the environment. In the past eight years we've worked with a broad range of environmental organizations, industry coalitions and groups of elected officials to make going solar easier for homeowners, and now we're excited to participate in a program whose mission reflects our own."
Joining Ty Pennington, the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" designers and Akeena Solar's team of installers on set is Linda Panitz, the winner of an Akeena-sponsored contest that awarded one lucky solar enthusiast with a trip to San Bernardino County to see the Andalay system installed. Linda won the contest with an essay submission describing her commitment to her community and her tireless efforts to spread the word about the benefits of going solar. Throughout the filming, Linda will reflect on her experiences on set through a series of blog postings, including one on the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" website.
